Episode notes
Be First Then Do Then Have
- The Be-Do-Have model works only if you first become the person who can perform new actions.
- Jim Fortin illustrates with money and fitness: wanting more resources (have) first keeps you stuck in the old identity and old results.
Old Identity Recreates The Past
- Your current subconscious identity limits any Be-Do-Have attempt because you try to create a new identity from the old one.
- Fortin uses the Rolls Royce and $300,000 home examples to show inner voices that predictably reject radical upgrades.
Reptilian Brain Resists Identity Change
- The reptilian brain prefers predictability and pushes back against identity shifts, causing relapse into old habits.
- Fortin names 'predictability' and 'disintegration anxiety' as brain-based reasons momentum snaps back after early progress.
